Muesli Bars

A healthy home-made breakfast bars are very easy to make. We just need 30 minutes to do the preparation and bake it.

I made 2 versions of the bars; the first one was too soft and oily and the later one was much better which the texture was much more like our local peanut candy.

I modified the recipe from Australianfood with my own ingredients.

Baking Time: 15 minutes

Oven Temperature: 180C

Mould Size: 30cm x 20 cm Rectangular Mould

1 ½ cup            Wholegrain (Roasted)

1 cup                Rolled Oats (Roasted)

½ cup               Melon Seeds (Roasted)

¼ cup               Sesame Seeds (Roasted)

½ cup               Raisins

½ cup               Dried Cranberries

(B)

50ml                 Sunflower Oil or Melted Butter

(the more you put, the softer your bar will be)

½ cup               Honey

1/8 cup            Brown Sugar

Methods:

1. Grease and line a baking mould with baking paper.
2. In a big metal bowl, mix well ingredients (A).
3. Cook ingredients (B) in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until sugar has dissolved.
4. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to low heat. Simmer, without stirring for 5 minutes. Add butter mixture to dry ingredients. Stir well until combined.
5. Spoon the mixture into the tin. Use a large metal spoon to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.

8. Cut them into square and rectangular when it is cool.
